This distinctive Mid-Century Italian serving cart is executed in lacquered goatskin/parchment in warm cream, amber and richly mottled brown tones. The dramatic central panels contrast beautifully against the lighter parchment surround. The cart features a versatile drop-leaf top, lower serving/storage shelf, sculptural dark supports, decorative metal handle, large spoked wheels and additional casters for mobility.
With the leaves raised, the cart converts into a generously sized serving surface, while the drop-leaf construction allows for a narrower profile when not in use. The combination of exotic parchment surfaces, polished lacquer and metal detailing is characteristic of the luxurious furniture produced by Tura in Milan during the mid-20th century. Similar documented Tura carts are dated to the 1950s and 1960s.
